Mexicocina, Bronx

Mexicocina's intimate dining room—awash in purple, yellow, and orange walls—welcomes guests to sup on handcrafted Mexican fare bellied up to its two- and four-top tables. The chefs employ a signature taco recipe, sprinkling the sautéed onions and cilantro of a traditional Mexican street taco with oaxaca white cheese and chipotle spices. Wrapped dishes, such as tacos and burritos, snuggle beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp within warm, handmade tortillas, also the preferred swaddling method for children of the corn.
